This is a charming ,clean, well furnished cottage. Tucked away in its own olive grove and garden area. Hands on family operated. Eastern Crete is quite with some beaches within droving distance. And Minoan ruins abound. I highly recommend this place. And the chocolate cake awaiting us was a welcome touch !

Lovely welcome, polite staff. We had a room upgrade to a sea view which was nice. Breakfast was plentiful but as it was end of season the bread rolls and croissants were very dry. The fruit had swarms of fruit flies so we decided not to bother, but there were other options. The pool area looked nice and clean with lots of seating options. It was very quiet, possibly we were there on their last open weekend, not sure. Sound proofing wasn’t good In the bedroom, we could hear a man talking loudly either in the next room or in the corridor around midnight. I’m sure that in the height of the season it is a very different experience. Having said that the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. We don’t think it merits the 5* rating.

Facilities are new, located in a quiet area, great option if you want a quiet vacation away. The bed very was comfy, the outside pool and private pool in the room ate both great! The staff were very nice and helpful and always smiling. The food menu in the restaurant was overall very good.

Nice little apartments just a short stroll from the main hub of Makry Gialos. Very clean, spacious, excellent air conditioning and a beautiful lady (Despina I think?) who looked after us and gave us some wonderful home grown organic produce (grapes, apples, pomegranate). Not to mention the raki & delicious cake! We had a really lovely couple if days here ❤️

A fantastic stay from start to finish. Everything was as expected. Clean, private and everything we spoke about and requested throughout the stay was done. I would 100% recommend and would love to come back and visit one day.

Three friends and myself stayed at the Windmill at Anemomili for five nights. We loved the drive up to Sitia that grew more and more wild and beautiful. The windmill is magical. Extremely comfortable and put together with so much care, artistry and love. The hosts were proactive and keen to ensure that we had a good time, giving us a lot of ideas of what to do. We had some beautiful beach days (Vai and Itanos are fabulous), and also visited Toplou monastery and some of the archeological sites. We loved a supper at Retro in Palekastro - great local food at reasonable prices. We also cooked in a lot and the kitchen was easy to use and had everything we needed. There is no shop/mini market in Agria Fotia so you must do your food shopping in Sitia or Palekastro. That side of the coast is quite wild, and swimming in the beaches very close to the windmill is not great unless the day is very calm. But, there are such beautiful beaches not far away that that shouldn't be a concern. Thank you to our hosts - we loved every moment of our time there.
